Well, I nominate our blog, Thrift Store Confidential (http://thriftstoreconfidential.wordpress.com), because spreading the word about second-hand delights and the communities who benefit is my top priority. Great posts by everyone, though - checking you all out now! Thanks a bunch and good luck to all,Nicole

I'm loving Thrift Store Confidential so I nominate them! I've just discovered this web community for "frugalistas" such as myself and I am happy as a clam!! Good to see these other nominations too-I'm checking all you guys out :-)

I nominate the Flickr group Hand Knit Hand-Me-Downs http://www.flickr.com/groups/handknithandmedowns/ It was started recently by Julie of www.thiscosylife.etsy.com as a way to pass along hand-knitted or hand-crocheted items that are no longer of use to their maker/owner, but which still have plenty of wear in them. It's totally free, you just have to post a picture of the item you ask for being used once you get it. It's such a great idea for keeping handmade items out of storage or the landfill.

I'd like to post a fledgling little shop that has a lot of hope and heart...my own :) It's small but growing by leaps and bounds each day...in other words, as much as my three kids will let me accomplish ;)

It is called Dreamwylde Vintage and you can find it here: etsy.com/shop/poetees

I am a huge fan of Vintage Renewal. Jeanne Connolly is a sustainably minded, socially conscious furniture redesigner who has a great website, blog and is an active member of the EcoEtsy team. http://www.vintagerenewal.com/

I'd like to nominate...myself! I have a new blog for crafters and families sharing a love of slowing down, simplifying and finding connections in nature. So far, I have a teeny following of friends. Wish me luck!
